Silly Season 2019

For me the logical step for JML would be M-sport. then Toyota would be open for Breen, ostberg, sordo or paddon with a 1 year contract + someone like tidemand. Then they could get Rovanperä or Huttunen for 2020 or some other rising star to be sweet.

I'm sure Ostberg just wants a paid drive no matter who it is.. lol.

True, but he isn't going to get that anywhere

I don't know why Latvala would want to leave Toyota for a probably slower car with less development funding though? (assuming Toyota still want him, which seems likely at this stage).

It would be a big risk to take only for what, undisputed team No.1 status? I don't think he's that much of an egotist.

With all the rumors of Lappi negotiating with Citroen...how would you suddenly think of that?

Simply because being second driver to a French driver in a French team maybe is not an ideal situation?

There is nothing logical about it, they are there for the manuf. title so if they hire a rookie, their 2. driver has to be better than medium.
